Here's a little render I did in KT.

Woah Fletch!

Take it easy- this looks awesome! I never got into KT, I always found the interface too weird, but this render is a great advertisment. What was your original render size and duration?

That render is so good it's scary.

Glad it's easy for you. I played with it a little and it just confused me. When I have time, I'll go back and figure it out I guess.

Hi Jackson! Long time man! You are pretty much rockin' the Vue interior sector last I checked... and as you know I almost gave up w/ Vue unless I need animated vegetation/sky/water.

When the next KT comes out well... I can't spoil any surprises, but lets just say I haven't opened my Vue6 in months.

hmm... I did the original render in a real crunch time, and rendering w/ 4 cores on lower qual. PM settings... (preset 06 in KT) 800x600 about an hour. Then I had to go re-do it (my perfectionist side kicking in) and I left it over a weekend in MLT at much larger res (that's the image here, but hi-res not posted here). You can see it in the link in my signature.

pshop plugin for RPCs to get the people in. alphamask technique for background image. some bloom effect post-pro to settle the image.

Nice work Fletch!
Good to hear the SU plugin made such a progress.

Is this image rendered with the official KT release or an internal version?

Cheers,

Hi Kwist-buddy! I think official release... but if not, the same could be done with KT2007, nothing special done/used here.

Fletch, great render.
I gave up on Kerky almost a year ago.I had a problem
with identifying materials once imported into
Kerky. Since then I moved on to maxwell.Long rendering times but an easy set-up.
But looking at this render I will definatelly give K another try.

Bok, Mateo! hvala. Kako si?! Dobro?

After import into KT2007, you can sort the materials list by selecting, then right-clicking the word "model" at the top of the left pane... then choose "sort".

If you have installed libraries in KT, now with the new SU2KT you can simply apply them inside of SU, there's the option to 'attach' them to another material, (it will replace the other mats texture, but you can then UV map it right in SU. OR you can just import any KT as a new SU mat, then paint with it, map it however you like. When you open it in KT, just hit 'render'... voila. done. sretan put!

I didn't need Fletch's rendering to get me on this bandwagon, but I must say that your render is another inspiration to me as I'm still learning. I for one am glad your here to help and inspire all us KT users.

Thanks Fletch :thup:
